They are "Bolting," i.e. going to seed, and the roots will have turned
very hot and tough. The good news is that the immature green seed
pods are delicious stir-fried. There are actually varieties bred for
this use.

So, pull them out?
Yup!

I just did. None of them had a radish under them.

So, just some do that and other develop fat roots?

Well, it makes room. It is crowed in there.

I think every radish I ever planted bolted when the weather got warm.

Hi Maggie,

Maybe I should plant them sooner? Do yours tolerate
a freeze or two in the spring?

This is a lot milder / nicer group that the other one we
usually talk on. :-)

Hi Maggie,

I usually plant them as early as I can and if we have a light freeze I
don't worry about them. I have some raised beds that I put a short pvc
cold frame over it and cover it with clear plastic. If the plastic is
raised for ventilation, I won't lower it if it freezes because it's
usually enough protection to keep the tops from being damaged. Plus,
they really like the cold weather.

It is! I'm hoping someone has an answer about my Mini Fuchsias!
